I’m done with Quad Shots

[LK3]

I pin quads everyday with either 35mg test cyp or 17mg test prop, using a 27 gauge 1/2 inch slin pin. I’m 57 years old. My gear uses MCT as the carrier oil. Smooth as butter!
I wouldn’t dare do it with larger volumes and larger pins. I left that behind 2 decades ago.

this!
with less then 1 cc i can jab quads up and down all over, i dont even sit down.

I pin ED and never do quads. Lats, glutes, delts and even chest. All take 3cc no prob.

 

[Siggy]

99% of all the bad injections I have ever had have been in either the quads or the glutes( I mean the actual posterior glutes, not the ventral glutes which are amazing for pinning)

I dont use either of those sites.

I pin quads and delts. I always inject slowly to try and avoid a nerve. The other day I touched one and it twitched. Just slightly moved the needle and went on in. Its just such an easy place to pin. I use a 23 gauge once inch. I've never used anything other than a 23 gauge one inch. Other than slin pin for GH, Melanotan subq. I did get an infection one time in my quad years ago. Trip to UrgentCare and got an antibiotic. Problem solved. For having been doing it for 21 yrs I'd say only one infection in all those years is damn good. I remember watching Palumbo say in one of his vids to never do quads. They've always been fine for me. KNOCK ON WOOD.

All I do now is quad shots. Low dose TC .

I used to do quads frequently and then all the sudden I did one, got infected, and had to actually go to the OR to have it drained. When they drained it in the OR, they said it looked oily and not much pus. My thought is that it just didn’t absorb well or I had a bad reaction.

for some odd reason, now no matter where I pin, unless I use my prescription stuff, every source I’ve used regardless of pinning location, gives me pip

I only pin quads. Easiest spot to get to. When I was at my biggest I physically couldn’t turn to get to my glutes anymore

 

[hard_gainz]

I can't bring myself to do quads. To many horror stories.

 

[JUICEDUP3]

Ive maybe hit quads 10 times in 20 years of gear use.

FCK that!!

My last quad shot I ever did as I stuck the needle in it started to bounce around and leg started to twitch. Never again for me.

I've done exactly 2 quad shots and both resulted in cellulitis. There won't be a 3rd

I started quads like a year ago. Easiest place along with VGs. Never a bleeder or any pain. The only time I get pip anywhere now is when I get sick. It actually helps me know ahead of time when I am coming down with something.

Quads were always my primary spot...Loved them, big muscle group with lots of room.

By the time I made it to just TRT (when I even get those shots in now lol), I can't use them anymore, it's like crackling paper...Just rips through the scar tissue that built up from so many years and concentrates in the area.

Now since either ass or delts...I loved tris but a lot of scar tissue built up in those over the years now too, so easy lumping.

I only pin small volumes, like 1/2cc or less in the upper upper quad, like near the hip crease now. Good, easy to reach painless spot with 30g 1/2" slin pins for TRT.

I used to pin more in the middle of the quad but one time I jammed the needle in and I think it went straight through a major nerve because it felt like my foot touched a live 120V line and my whole quad violently contracted so hard it bent the needle. Never again LOL

 

[maxtrax]

As i got older i switched to slin pins to help with scar tissue. I shoot quads, hamstrings, triceps, biceps, chest, lats, and traps. All easy to do with a slin and only 1cc in each loaction and still get the volume in weekly.

 

[carbs]

yeah same. I've never been good with quad shots.

 

[Team Gunner]

Not a Quad injection fan either, my preference is Ventral Glute area & glutes typically.

 

[Elvis755]

I don’t want to jinx myself with everyone having tons of issues with quads. I love pinning quads for me it’s the easiest place can sit no twisting it’s right in front of me and huge area. Have never had an issue.

I seem to always end up with pip from a quad pin. Some are way worse than others depending on the compound, but there always seems to be at least some pip the following days.

That's really why I've never done glute shots. When I was bigger it was basically impossible. Even now at a much smaller 260 its not that easy. I just find trying to turn and shoot there is just really hard. So I've never done a glute shot ever. Always Delts and Quads for me. I use to do chest shots. But not anymore.

Whenever I inject I go really slow. Couple nights ago while doing a quad shot as I went in slowly I touched a nerve. I just back the needle up slightly and move the angle slightly while in my leg and go forward. It has always worked.
